:-) Matt's howto does not discourage this. He talks about the best place to put the cf files. He covers /etc/mail/spamassassin for sitewide. The reason I have seperate cf files is for ease of use. My local.cf was getting to big to sort thru to change. I already had the emporeum files broken out, so I just decided to leave them that way. I have one for testing rules. I have the reg2rule.pl generated evil domains in one. I also move tested rules over to a cf file with a date in the name. SO I know when they were added and when I should look at them for experation. Multpile cf files are a blessing with 700+ rules! You forgot to ask how I like my coffee? :P > > > Simply marking the email as spam was only the first step. I > > don't want my users to see any.

IF a spam is 7+ it gets copied to a corpus on the SA box and to a spamtrap mailbox on the exchange server. I get almost no FPs above 7. But I check them all by hand, before I delete. If I get an FP, I first remove it from corpus on the SA box, then forward it to original user. Then I analyze the heck out of it and fix why it was an FP. The spam that gets 5-7 points gets delivered to user. Some of these get cc'd to me thru a procmail script (lazy salespeople!). Others simply can copy to the public "Spam for chris to test folder" on exchange box. Same goes for spam not tagged. Nothing gets deleted unless checked by me. This entire setup can be customised per user thanks to procmail. For instance the presidents email doesn't get sent anywhere but to him. > > > I can't stop either. Rule writing is like crack.
